Don’t think “noise matters most” but it’s definitely a close second (safety is # 1) so you’re focusing on an important issue facing #UAM. We’ll need broad community acceptance of enticing new routes and vertiport locations - mitigating noise and pollution will help with this :)

5/ But there are a lot more options available for use with a sub-scale model including low-speed wind tunnel testing of the nature used by NASA with their LA-8 #eVTOL. You can also 3D print smaller scale components and quickly integrate those into the aircraft for re-testing.

2/ And sooner rather than later... the crossing red arrows on the illustration imply the prop wash from the tilt rotors could interfere with the vertical thrust from the fixed lift rotors under this #eVTOL design. That's not a good thing before reaching wing-borne flight.

T1: #UAM means transport of goods and people across urban, sub-urban regions using aerial vehicles. Earlier done using helicopters but now with advanced electric vertical take off and landing vehicles (#eVTOL) and hybrid helicopters.

A little more to it than just volume. Sure, mass production can help drive down the cost and fares. But for #UAM you also want to offload as much in the way of sensory functions/equipage and avionics to #NextGenUTM (PSU/USS) as you can to cut vehicle and SWAP related costs.

On #eVTOL and #UAM: So, so much of the economic premise is based on volume. Without volume, aircraft won't be cheap. If aircraft aren't cheap, service won't be cheap. If service isn't cheap, there won't be thousands of eVTOLs flying. Will there be enough inertia?

Case study on why community engagement is key for #AAM / #UAM -- @seletajewel of LADOT says other than noise, biggest resident concern is THE BIRDS! She adds: have to start with listening & demystifying what we're talking about here.

When ships moved from sail to steam my family continued to make sailboats. They got out of the ship building business and moved into finance in the 19th century. I gotta think if you make conventional ICE vehicles you gotta make that shift or get out of the game now. #evtol

Seeing a lot of the “crawl, walk, run” slogan that describes the proposed approach to seeding #UAM in the NAS. I suggest we change that to “trot, run, sprint” otherwise we are going to be left in the dust in the global marketplace. ... shields at 100% and holding captain ;-)
